Portfolio overview

Motorola Mobility Llc has been granted 1,427 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Motorola Mobility Llc at rank #302 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 109 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, Motorola Mobility Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Motorola sits between Jtekt Corporation (1,431 patents, rank #298) and Nintendo Co., Ltd. (1,396 patents, rank #306) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.2/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 932 grants, compared with 495 in the 2015–2019 window, a +88% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.

Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Motorola Mobility Llc's 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Motorola Mobility Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
